Janis Ian Interview

"I wrote my first song at 12, I was published at 13. I made a record at 14. I had a hit at 15, and I was a has-been at 16", so says Janis Ian. But that 's not exactly true. She's been quite busy in the nearly four decades since her first Grammy in 1975 for "At Seventeen" as Don Merrill discovered when he had the chance to talk with this songstress, author and musical legend.
